United has 600+ planes with Starlink (~36% of the fleet), rising to 100% by the end of 2027. Delta has zero, and no plans for it. People will book accordingly. RIP Delta.

I just flew Delta from Japan to Illinois and back. 1) delta wifi states it will not work over the ocean, which was most of the flight. 2) delta wifi (via T-Mobile) didn’t work over land either on my flights. 0% connectivity over 26 hours of flying. Food was crap too.

Delta really screwed up by not going with Starlink. United used to be my last choice, but it has become my first - all because of Starlink.
Starlink is the best thing to come to planes since Biscoff cookies, and the rollout is accelerating. It’s already live on 22 passenger airline brands. Another 24 have announced it. I mapped every airline rolling it out:

Every non-hamburger food suffers from what I call “The Hamburger Problem” - you have to weigh its nutritional and hedonic value against simply eating a hamburger. Almost all foods are hamburger-negative.

Rob Perez, a.k.a. @WorldWideWob, remembers Eliana Moreno, the fan-favorite aerial reporter who built a career covering police pursuits and hard news in Los Angeles. She and pilot George Marciniw were killed in a helicopter crash on September 15. vulture.com/article/eliana-m…

I’m a lifetime Delta Customer. But flew American this weekend and I may have to switch for two reasons: 1- Dr. Pepper 2- Fast WiFi.

Real estate magnate Donald Trump calls into UPN 9 News in New York City. When they ask if his tower on 40 Wall Street has been damaged by the attacks, he brags that it used to be the second tallest skyscraper in downtown Manhattan before the collapse of the World Trade Center, and now it’s the tallest building again.

Hey @Delta you are the elite airline in almost every aspect… except your WiFi is the most atrocious in the industry. I do not understand why you would turn down starlink.

Real men are accountable for their actions, acknowledge their mistakes, apologize, and try to set things right. I met some real men recently, members of my home ward I want to tell you about. Recently, my wife Ruth substituted as a teacher in a youth Sunday School class. The students were 12- and 13-year-old young men and young women. Some of the young men were acting like, well, 12- and 13-year-old young men. They were a bit casual and less than engaged than ideal in the lesson about Job. Ruth had given the students a handout with some scriptures to read. Of course, paper airplanes were made of the handouts (is anyone surprised?). Ruth who is an excellent and adaptable teacher collected the airplanes, continued with the lesson, and thought no more about it. On the following Thursday evening, we had a knock on our door. Three of the young men were on the porch. They handed Ruth a letter that read: Dear Sister Renlund, We want to apologize for our behavior in Sunday School. We meant no disrespect even though our actions said otherwise. We failed to meet our duty as Deacons and we are sorry. We have learned from our mistake and better learned what our Aaronic Priesthood duty is. We have made a bouquet of paper airplanes for you to show our appreciation for teaching our class and for helping us learn our duty better. Thank you for what you do for the Church. Love, The Deacons Quorum I am grateful for their example to me of being priesthood holders and real men.

This is Karyann Parkinson and her five kids. She just received a 6-month suspended jail sentence and is now on Virginia's child abuse registry. Her crime: letting her 5-year-old, Sam, walk a half-mile alone in their gated community. She's not the first. A thread.
